摘要
En 中文
Boundary information is essential for the semantic segmentation of remote sensing images. However, most existing methods were designed to establish strong contextual information while losing detailed information, making it challenging to extract and recover boundaries accurately. In this article, a boundary-sensitive network (BSNet) is proposed to address this problem via dynamic hybrid gradient convolution (DHGC) and coordinate sensitive attention (CSA). Specifically, in the feature extraction stage, we propose DHGC to replace vanilla convolution (VC), which adaptively aggregates one VC kernel and two gradient convolution kernels (GCKs) into a new operator to enhance boundary information extraction. The GCKs are proposed to explicitly encode boundary information, which is inspired by traditional Sobel operators. In the feature recovery stage, the CSA is introduced. This module is used to reconstruct the sharp and detailed segmentation results by adaptively modeling the boundary information and long-range dependencies in the low-level features as the assistance of high-level features. Note that DHGC and CSA are plug-and-play modules. We evaluate the proposed BSNet on three public datasets: the ISPRS 2-D semantic labeling Vaihingen, the Potsdam benchmark, and the iSAID dataset. The experimental results indicate that BSNet is a highly effective architecture that produces sharper predictions around object boundaries and significantly improves the segmentation accuracy. Our method demonstrates superior performance on the Vaihingen, the Potsdam benchmark, and the iSAID dataset in terms of the mean F-1, with improvements of 4.6%, 23%, and 2.4% over strong baselines, respectively. The code and models will be made publicly available.
